This book came at exactly the right time for me. As I was reading, there were so many passages that I wanted to snapshot and remember - it’s so gently positive and uplifting. I feel like I could read this again and again. It was very enjoyable - I read it all in one sitting - and I’ve been left with a warm, happy feeling ever since. It’s like pleasant medicine. It’s a book that reminds you to be kind to yourself but also reminds you there’s a whole wold of possibilities out there. It also highlights the importance and strength in family bonds, and how much of a difference we can make to eachother, sometimes without even realising. Beautiful writing, Beautiful characters. A perfect book in my mind.

I picked this up for the first time many months ago and couldn’t get into it, but then I got dumped and it was a perfect little benign escape for a busy brain! I don’t think the story will stick me in the long term, though.

"It's important to stand still sometimes. Think of it as a little rest in the long journey of your life. This is your harbour, and your boat is just dropping anchor here for a little while. And after you're well rested, you can set sail again"

Enjoyable and inspiring. It's good to read stories about finding the joy in slow, peaceful life. Now I'm in the mood to check out the authors mentioned in the book!
